Alive And Well?

Although Rob Zombie's Halloween II opened to poor reviews and smaller box office than its predecessor that hasn't deterred The Weinstein Company from moving ahead with a third entry in the rebooted "Halloween" narrative for release next Summer.



And guess what? It's called "Halloween 3D, and the studio is already in negotiations with a new director according to The Los Angeles Times.

Though the article will not say who, the director has experience in the genre and has a "different take" on the the whole thing. Changing directors is a move I applaud

I said just yesterday that the poor showing of H2 probably meant that Zombie's era had thankfully come to an end...But I was not expecting the folks in charge to go the 3-D route at this stage--then again given The Final Destination's success it's no shock I guess.

The 3-D idea...will make $$$ But as a film--It will probably make the 1982 film Halloween III: Season of the Witch seem like a great piece of cinema
